Privacy Policy

Hospitality Mentors Inc ("we") operates MentoCore, a workplace safety and quality platform. This policy explains what personal data we process, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have.

Who is responsible

For personal data about our own customers and website visitors, Hospitality Mentors Inc is the data controller. For customer content that a workspace uploads about its own employees and operations, the customer organization is the controller and MentoCore acts as a processor under our Data Processing Agreement.

What we collect

  • Account data — name, email address, organization, role, optional phone number for SMS reminders.
  • Customer content — inspections, corrective actions, incidents, SOPs, training records, schedules, traceability lots, uploaded photos and files.
  • Device & telemetry data — sensor readings your organization connects, push subscription tokens, and offline drafts stored in your own browser.
  • Operational logs — request logs, email and notification delivery records, and audit events describing who did what in the app.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use customer content to train third-party AI models.

Why we process it (legal bases)

  • Contract — to provide the service you or your employer subscribed to.
  • Legitimate interests — keeping the platform secure, preventing abuse, improving reliability, and supporting customers.
  • Legal obligation — retaining records where law requires it and responding to lawful requests.
  • Consent — optional channels such as SMS reminders and marketing email, which you can withdraw at any time.

AI features

Some features send the content you submit (for example a checklist draft prompt or an inspection photo) to our AI provider to generate a response. Prompts are processed to return your result and are not used to train the provider's models. AI output is a draft: a human reviews and approves it inside the product.
